Seasonal traffic is on the rise in St. Augustine.

We spent some time downtown this past weekend enjoying the St. Patrick’s parade and other festivities (visit our Facebook page to see the pictures) and we noticed something…St. Augustine is getting crowded!

We’ve also noticed a continued rise in our traffic on OldCity.com, indicating that more and more people are planning visits to St. Augustine or scoping out information on the go. We’re up to 88,909 visits over the last 30 days, which means we’re getting an average of almost 3,000 visitors to the site every day.

We want to send that traffic to you!

Now is the perfect time to put together a seasonal advertisement on OldCity.com. Choose from a three or six month contract to put your business in front of St. Augustine visitors through the spring and summer. We can design a button or banner ad for you or help you write an expanded listing that will grab people’s attention.

No other web portal in Northeast Florida offers the statistics AND the personal service that Old City does. We’re proud of our town and we feel that every member of our local business community is important.

To help you get started, we’ve put together some ideas for seasonal advertisements your business could put on OldCity.com:

  • Seasonal Events: Do you have a special event coming up at your business? Advertise it to the public with a banner ad on our Calendar page. This Calendar is the fourth most popular page on OldCity.com with 17,551 visits in the last 30 days. A recent advertiser for an upcoming festival in St. Augustine received over 500 clicks in 14 days leading up to their event!
  • St. Augustine After Hours: We’ve noticed a growing interest  from our visitors in what St. Augustine has to offer after dark including special tours, bars, nightclubs and restaurants. If your business has a lot to offer guests seeking nightlife entertainment, consider an expanded listing on our Nightlife page.
  • Cross promotional advertisements: If you’ve combined with other local businesses to create package deals for lodging, dining and attractions in town, talk to your colleagues about advertising that package on OldCity.com. You can place your advertisement on multiple pages to cover all the categories that your package covers and attract even more business than a singular ad, plus you can split the cost with your fellow businesses!
  • Facebook Advertisements: Instead of sending people to your website, consider creating an advertisement that sends them to your Facebook page where they can post comments and photos about your business. Encourage visitors to leave reviews and click the “Like” button so that your future updates on Facebook will be automatically added to their daily news feed.

Your advertisement could be live on OldCity.com in less than 24 hours!

Our professional graphic designers can create your button and banner ads for you, or our professional copy writers can script your expanded listing to attract visitors. Our in house team works quickly and can have your advertisement on the web less than 24 hours after you sign your contract so you can start receiving clicks immediately.
